IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Damage protection
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface of the cooktop.
Even lightweight objects could cause damage to the ceramic glass pane.
Do not use pots or pans with pronounced edges or ridges on
the ceramic cooktop. These could scratch the cooktop permanently. See "Selecting cookware" for more information. Grains of salt and sand can also scratch. Make sure that the bases of any pots and pans are clean, free of any fat or oils and are dry.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, or pieces of plastic or foil to fall on
the burners when they are hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface pitting or even cracking could occur. If sugar, plastic or foil gets on the ceramic surface, turn the cooktop off. Clean the surface im- mediately with a shielded scraper blade while still hot.
Caution:
Danger of burns! Clean the burners throughly when cooled.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this appliance. Pressurized
steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components, for which the manufacturer cannot accept responsibility.
Never place hot pots or pans over the touch controls, as the
underlying electronics may be damaged.
If a drawer is installed beneath the cooktop, a sufficient distance
between the contents of the drawer and the bottom of the cooktop must exist. Otherwise the venting of the cooktop is not guaranteed.
